Hwy #21 goes east and west, I headed east and did the job in the road to Glen Sandfield Road which took me into Glen Sandfield. I had to visit if briefly this hamlet because of the name “Sandfield.” My grandfather was named Ronald Sandfield McDonald. So far I have not been able to find a connection to the “Sandfields.”

Glen Sandfield

Hwy #21 meets Hwy #23 and I paused at the 4 corners of Glen Sandfield then I turned north.

Dalkeith was the end of my Tour of Glengarry. It was time to headed to Ottawa. I only had two days left of my trip and the next day I wanted to visit one more archive in the Ottawa area. The next day I would fly home.

St. Columba Church at Kirkhill is a Presbyterian church, not a United church. What you call highway #24, 23, and 21 are not highways but concession roads. I have relatives living in this area of Glengarry county.

Robert: Thanks for stopping by. I am glad you have family there, I do not. I am aware that they are concession roads, but you have to remember I live in the USA on the other side of the continent, they are highways to us. My family came to Canada early 1800’s, but left for the United States in 1901 on my father’s side into Minnesota and on my mother’s in 1917 from Vancouver, B.C. So I was born in the US. I have to write from own perspective so forgive me if I don’t quite it it right. You misunderstand my lumping of the two churches I visited perhaps I should not have quite written that way, Oh Well! Fortunately I got a chance to go back in 2014 and see St. Columba, it is truly a wonderful place.
